This book was amazing! It fulfilled all my dark needs for some twisted and horrific gore with an splash of torture. After an innocent virgin is brutally, tortured, raped and dismembered, her angry spirit is set out to get some payback. What follows is a horrific whirlwind of death and destruction as she avenges herself, one tormentor at a time. Some of the methods of death were quite unique and had me grinning in sadistic pleasure! I was completely obsessed with this book from beginning to end and was eagerly lapping up the thrills. With no holds barred, the author delves into the deep underbelly of human depravity which will shock and horrify you. What makes it even more terrifying is the fact that these sordid affairs are really happening all over the world.....right now...

Joan De La Haye writes horror and some very twisted thrillers. She invariably wakes up in the middle of the night, because she’s figured out yet another freaky way to mess with her already screwed up characters.Joan is interested in some seriously weird stuff. That’s probably also one of the reasons she writes horror. Joan is deep, dark and seriously twisted and so is her writing.
